Subject: [PATCH v4 06/11] watchdog: sync watchdog_cpumask with HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE on isolation
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:28:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-wujing-dhm-v4-6-2e912e5d9645@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-wujing-dhm-v4-0-2e912e5d9645@gmail.com>
The watchdog is initialized at boot to run on all housekeeping CPUs
(HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE). When a cpuset isolated partition removes CPUs
from that mask at runtime, watchdog continues running on those CPUs
because nothing updates watchdog_cpumask.
Save the boot-time watchdog_cpumask as watchdog_cpumask_boot, which
captures the user's intended coverage (possibly narrowed via kernel
parameter or sysctl) before any runtime isolation. Introduce
lockup_detector_hk_update() which intersects this boot snapshot with
the current HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE mask and reconfigures the detector.
This ensures that isolated CPUs are excluded while honoring any
manual narrowing the admin applied at or after boot.
lockup_detector_hk_update() snapshots the RCU-protected housekeeping
mask under rcu_read_lock(), then updates watchdog_cpumask and calls
__lockup_detector_reconfigure() under watchdog_mutex, matching the
same locking discipline used by proc_watchdog_cpumask().
